Kirsten Fuentes : Surely you jest! You may have mistaken the Lenovo Yogo (yes LENOVO, that’s right, the YOGO exposes the keyboard when in tablet mode) for the Dell XPS12!!!

The Dell XPS12 screen revolves in a horizontal axis and in tablet mode never exposes the keyboard to the elements.

Dell XPS may have 9 hours battery life but at any given time I’d prefer premium construction and usability. Downside of dell xps is that if it goes into tablet mode the keyboard is exposed on the underside.

Ultrabooks nowadays dont have detachable batteries. Li polymer is the new battery technology that may last you the notebook’s life cyle. Thinkpads are generally very robust notebooks. So I’d assume that this is a well thought of design despite that it comes in singular hinge axle link.

there are failed attempts to make a tablet/pc hybrid and one of those are those nasty, bulky windows xp tablet editions, who wants another one of those? twisting the screen would loose the hinge and what?! battery is not user replaceable

I think we need to review Dell XPS12 Convertible Ultrabook as well. It has a better battery life than this (approx. 9 hours, that’s at least an hour more than this Lenovo offering).

“He said he was not sure with the exact number, but Lenovo had the ThinkPad Twist’s hinge undergo (and pass) a thorough stress test before the company mass manufactured the ultrabook.” … *sniff* *sniff* … Hmm… Do you smell that? … It smells like bull$hit to me.
